Abstract

Until now, the photoacoustic spectrum (PAS) analysis technology cannot face the need for SF6 gas-decomposition products due to the high noise level, big shock and low accuracy. In this manuscript, we present a portable sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas-decomposition PAS gas analysis system based on mid-infrared quantum cascade laser (MI-QCL). Because the narrow linewidth, high speed tunable and stability wavelength of MI-QCL, our PAS gas analysis system has a good performance. A platform for MI-QCL PAS system is set up in our work. The accuracy of quantitative detection for sulfur dioxide (SO2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon monoxide (CO) in SF6 gas background mixture gas is 0.5, 0.1 and 0.1 ppm, respectively. Experiment results demonstrate the MI-QCL PAS system not only has a high detection accuracy, but also has a small system volume. This work gives a novel solution method for PAS system miniaturization in the future.
